We are a plumbing service, repair and drain cleaning plumbing company. Celebrating 15 years in Longview this 2014.

"I was super impressed with Tristen and his fellow employee. They were very fast and knowledgeable on what they were doing. Since they charge by the hour they were working really fast but getting the job done right which I was happy about. What was most impressive was that they could listen to what I was saying and work at the same time since they know they are charged by the hour. They wasted no time getting to work and I was pleasantly surprised by the price. I expected it to be much higher considering all the issues I had."

One of the core values of Ram Jack, a family-owned business, is quality first. To achieve the highest quality, we embarked on a research and development program to produce a repair system that would stand the test of time. From the first phone call until the final inspection on a completed job, Ram Jack’s professionals are pledged to providing the most outstanding service. When a technician comes to your home, you should expect him or her to collect a large amount of data. An expert foundation repair specialist will discuss your areas of concern and perform an evaluation both inside and outside your home to get a full picture of the underlying issues concerning your foundation failure. We will provide you with a wide range of options necessary to repair residential or commercial structures from the various problems caused by clay soils prevalent throughout the U.S. A “Commitment to Excellence” based on strict quality control procedures is incorporated into all aspects of the day-to-day operations. We have the experience to guarantee our work with a Lifetime Transferable Warranty which is backed by the strength of Ram Jack Texas and the Ram Jack Dealers Association National Limited Warranty Trust, meaning you have access to warranty repairs, if they should arise, regardless of the status of your installing Ram Jack dealer. That’s peace of mind. *Real Estate transactions may be subject to a fee.

"Be aware of the warranty fraud and bad advertising. The advertising says they stand behind the structure. We have a wall that is in the middle of the area they raised and they did not put piers in the wall. This was a miss on the engineers part that should have had piers. The new engineer that came out said he wasn't the initial engineer and wasn't responsible for the miss. The new engineer said that they only warranty the pier and not the structure of the area the pier is in. (miss advertising). We would have had no problem purchasing additional piers at the time they were installed. Now they want to sell additional piers to fix there miss which is wrong. Be very aware that once they sell you piers if you have any issues in the area they fix is to sell more piers instead of standing behind the structure they fixed."

"HORRIBLE!! DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT USE ONSITE SANITATION!! This is the worst company I have ever had to experience. The driver left the can in the middle of my driveway over and over I asked for 9 weeks to please sit it back where they got it or at least to the side because I didn't know it was there and I scratched down my truck a horrible scratch after 9 weeks of no resolution finally I reached out to the owner and his wife he never responded but she did and I asked her to call me but the same lady in the office I had dealt with called instead and one week later the owners wife Sabrina vestal messaged me again and said she didn't have time to call me because I upset that they don't put the can where I want it put I responded and told her no that's not y I'm upset im upset because my truck is damaged and for 9 weeks I have been treated like i don't matter and my requests completely ignored so what did Sabrina vestal do?? She had them pick up my can even though I've already paid and no refund!!! Do not use this company they are horrible and scammers!!"

Excavating questions, answered by experts

Prior to excavation, you should prepare the dig site and call 311 before you sign anything.

To get your site ready for excavation, you should move anything in the area that isn’t affixed to the land. You can save money on the excavation by removing hardscaping, including walkways, decks, concrete patios, and paver patios.

Before you carry out any digging, you should call 311 to confirm that there are no utility lines running through your excavation site. Skipping this step could lead to severe injury and property damage if your excavator hits a water, sewage, or gas line.

Your contractor should handle dust control during the project. It's best to speak with your contractor beforehand to check if they plan to cover your furniture, protect your vents, or use fans to redirect dust. Eliminating drywall dust is a particularly large challenge during construction, so always take this into account during your planning phase.

Preparation involves site assessment, clearing debris, grading surfaces, and compacting soil to support stable construction.

Most states do not require excavation companies to hold specific licenses, but many require at least a contractor’s license. Additionally, heavy equipment operators require a special commercial equipment license to operate machinery required for excavation. You can use Angi’s contractor licensing tool to confirm that an excavation company you’re considering hiring is fully licensed. You should also make sure that the excavation team is fully insured before allowing them to work on your property.

Tree experts don’t advise against digging through tree roots, but instead encourage caution and consultation with a local arborist to make sure you don’t damage the tree’s structure or interrupt its water or nutrient intake. An arborist can recommend specific practices when digging and help prune the roots or dig a trench for utilities with a tool that can remove soil without touching the tree’s roots.
